User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0
Build ID: 20150911004112

Steps to reproduce:

Using a Windows 10 PC with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 graphics card and the latest driver (355.82)...

1. Open Firefox and open a few tabs with some pages
2. Leave the computer for a while to go into sleep mode
3. Return after a while and resume from sleep
# A notification appears saying "nvidia driver 355.82 stopped responding and has recovered"


Actual results:

When going back onto Firefox, every tab has the "white screen of death" (a spinner icon on a white background). However, the chrome still works fine, and when opening a new tab and visiting a page, that works too.
Firefox might not necessarily be the cause of the GPU driver failure (I'm still trying to determine that - it's hard to reproduce), but either way it seems that the e10s process that the tabs are running in does not recover well from the driver failure.
Could you type about:support in the location bar and paste the section "graphics", please.

So far I have not been able to reproduce it with e10s disabled, but I'll keep trying.
Ok, let's flag the bug about e10s.

Possibly a duplicate, but definitely related to bug 1183391.  Josh, the about:support in comment 3, was that after the error occured, or in a fresh session?  If in a fresh session, could you reproduce the problem then append the about:support?

It was from a fresh session. But I haven't specifically tried to reproduce this bug from hibernation, so I will try that tomorrow with and without e10s enabled.

I was not able to reproduce this on Dev Edition, but I could reproduce the driver failure when hibernating while running Nightly. However, the tabs did recover just fine and there were no graphical errors that I saw. Also, I could not reproduce it a second time while running Nightly.

At the moment, it's still too hard to tell if the driver failure is caused by Firefox or by a fault with the driver itself. But either way, the tab throbber of death is no longer appearing on each page, nor are there any graphical issues in the chrome process, so maybe something has been fixed and this bug should be INVALID for now and I'll reopen it later if I can reproduce it again?
Flags: needinfo?(josh)
We have been trying to recover better from the driver resets, though it's probably too much to hope for that this is fully resolved.  I agree that we should make it invalid or worksforme until it comes back.

I've started to experience this bug again, but this time with a black screen of death on each tab (but the chrome process looks ok). Should we reopen this bug or should I post a new bug?

Does that happen when you're resuming from sleep? If so then yes, please reopen this bug report.

Thanks

Done. Just to reiterate: after resuming from sleep, sometimes the graphics driver will restart, and all of the Firefox tabs appear black (but the main thread containing the chrome seems to be fine).

Thanks Josh. You originally noted this issue with NVIDIA v355.82 (the latest WHQL driver at the time). I'm wondering if you could try one of the earlier Windows 10 WHQL drivers from NVIDIA to confirm if this is a regression in their driver. In the meantime I'm nominating this to track for shipping e10s support.

I have a GTX 970 machine running Windows 10. I'll see if I can reproduce this.

Haven't experienced any graphics failures yet with the new driver, but I'll let you know if it happens in the next few days.
I can't reproduce this using my Win10/GTX670 machine, running the NVIDIA drivers 355.98. This might be an issue with Maxwell chipsets, maybe?

When I said 970 I actually meant 670. Oops.

It probably is. But I haven't experienced any issues with the new driver. Maybe this is finally fixed now (famous last words).
OK, we'll keep it on the radar for a little while and if you don't see any further issues we'll resolve this as WORKSFORME.
Josh, please don't hesitate to reopen if you see this again.
